I have no idea about a prog one, but I had this jazz band in mind for a long time:
Thelonious Monk - piano
John Coltrane - tenor and soprano saxes
Miles Davis - trumpet
Charles Mingus - bass
Max Roach (or Art Blakey) - drums
With Eric Dolphy as a guest on flute for additional awesomeness.
Never gonna happen since all of these musicians have passed away, but one can dream. Even if they were alive though, I highly doubt they would be able to play together. Monk, Miles and Mingus would for sure get in a fight.

Not Brubeck on Piano? Not Buddy Rich on Drums? |
I love Brubeck too, but Monk takes the cake for me personally. The high priest of Bop after all. As for Buddy Rich, I'm simply not familiar enough with him (yet).

^ oh and Zeena Parkins on Harp and Carla Kihlstedt on violin. It'd probably all sound like sh*t, but my bass playing would sound incredible!

Keyboards - Jordan Rudess. Wicked Keyboardist!  Keyboards (Yes there's another one) - Rick Wakeman. One of my personal favorites! Bass + Vocals - Geddy Lee. Can't beat the guy! Bass - Chris Squire. A must-have! Drums - Phil Collins. Yes, you're a horrible singer but your drumming's nothing to sneer at! Drums - Neil Peart. Come on, you don't think I wouldn't include the best drummer that I've ever heard? Guitar - Robert Fripp. A Legend! Guitar - Brian May. Be a sin not to let him on here! Guitar (yet another) - Alex Lifeson. Much respect for him. Guitar (seemingly endless) - Steve Hackett Vocalist - Jon Anderson Vocalist - Peter Gabriel Vocalist + Guitar - Adrian Belew Vocalist - Justin Hayward. Add some mellowness to it.

For me it is (only one member of bands listed):
Guitar/Lead Vocals: Dave Gilmour Guitar: Robert Fripp Keyboards: Keith Emerson Bass/ Vocals: Chris Squire Woodwinds: Chris Wood (before he died) Drums/Vocals: Robert Wyatt (before his accident)
I only listed one member per band, but if more than one were allowed it'd be: Drums: Bill Bruford & also Lyrics: Roger Waters (before he became an egomaniac)
